Gary Lineker thinks Arsenal’s success will depend on Gyokeres’ form

Arsenal have responded to the calls from their supporters by adding a proven striker to their squad, with Viktor Gyökeres now one of their players.

The Swedish forward arrives at the Emirates Stadium as one of the world’s most in-form strikers, following two dominant seasons at Sporting Club. His move to North London faced potential complications during the summer transfer window, yet the deal was eventually completed to the delight of the Arsenal faithful.

Arsenal’s Ambitions and the Competition Ahead

Arsenal have established themselves as one of the top clubs in Europe, boasting a squad and coaching team capable of challenging for the highest honours. They have finished second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, but their supporters are eager to see them take the final step and lift the league trophy.

The challenge, however, will be considerable. Rivals such as Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City have all strengthened significantly in the current transfer window, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of the most competitive Premier League campaigns in recent years.

Arsenal’s hopes may rest heavily on Gyökeres delivering the same goal-scoring prowess he displayed in Portugal. If he can replicate that form, the Gunners will have a genuine chance of securing the league title.

Gary Lineker on Gyökeres’ Potential Impact

Speaking on The Rest is Football Podcast, Gary Lineker highlighted the importance of Arsenal’s new signing, stating:

“A lot too will depend on how Gyokeres does. I mean he scored a terrific goal in pre-season but we all know pre-season is not that important. Although, it is for a striker in terms of that feeling of hitting the back of the net.

“So I think a lot will depend on him but we know he’ll get good service. I think they could go close again.”

Arsenal have endured three consecutive seasons without silverware, but with Gyökeres now leading their attack, there is renewed belief that this could be the year they end their wait for a major trophy.
